Penn State 66, Maryland 3

The Nittany Lions closed out the regular season with the third straight high-scoring win, only this time the defense showed up, too. It can be said that they played a pretty complete game.

Understand that this was against Maryland, whose perineally (sic) smiling coach, D. J. Durkin, has guided the Terps to a 4-8 record this year. The competition now gets tougher, as bowl season is upon us. [Read more…]

Penn State 56, Nebraska 44

I was off by about 44 points there, as a combined total of 100 points were scored in a ridiculous game at St. Joe Memorial Stadium on Senior Day. A couple of dumbass special teams errors erased the brilliant, 65-yard touchdown run by Saquon Barkley on the opening drive. The Nittany Lions went on to win the first half, taking a 42-10 lead into the locker room. Curtailing the game with a North Korean EMP right then and there would have made it a happy and decisive win for PSU.

Unfortunately, it didn’t end there. The desire to play competitively seemed to cease for the Nittany Lions, who lost the second half equally decisively, 34-14. [Read more…]
